FROM \u8868\u540d WHERE \u6761\u4ef6;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>The column name indicates the specific column to be retrieved, and the asterisk * can be used as a wildcard to represent all columns. The table name indicates the table to be retrieved. The WHERE clause is used to specify the conditions for retrieval, allowing the use of comparison operators, logical operators, and other functions to construct the conditions.<\/p>\n<p>For example, here is an example of a simple SELECT statement:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code>SELECT * FROM customers;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This statement will retrieve data from all columns and rows in the &#8220;customers&#8221; table.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an example of a SELECT statement with a WHERE clause:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code>SELECT * FROM customers WHERE age &gt; 18;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This statement will retrieve data from all rows in the &#8220;customers&#8221; table where the age is greater than 18 years old.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the basic SELECT statement, you can further customize queries using other keywords and statements such as ORDER BY for sorting results, GROUP BY for grouping, and JOIN for table connections. Specific usage can be learned and applied based on different database management systems and specific needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SELECT statement in a database is used to retrieve data from the database.
